What i need is for you to come fishing with me for the next ten years, problem is i live in the UK. Never mind i will just have to keep watching . Keep up the good work.
Peter- your videos are so informative; thank you! I always thought the down-eye vs. up-eye didn't really make much of a difference. Thanks for showing the underwater footage. Now I'm going to pay a little more attention to my streamers. :-)
The ironic thing about that video is that I had messed up the leader mount for the up-eye hook fly so it was running at about a 2" disadvantage compared to the down-eye fly. So add another 2" to the depth the up-eye hook. The water was bitter cold (late November) as I wanted to get the conditions as clear as possible, so my hands were freezing from being wet. I wasn't in the mood for a re-shoot when I saw the mount problem. ;)
I actually have a few videos that cover this already. Check out the one about having your tube flies ride level. I get into mixing copper and aluminum or copper and plastic to weight the fly and achieve a level ride.
I am using barbell eyes and tungsten beads. Have not used them yet,but I am looking forward to it. I do remember those videos and will watch them again.
Great information,the 1 fly/streamer that should have been brought to the table is a clouser type minnow,a streamer with either bead chain or weighted eye,they fish with a whole different motion,loop or clinch knot thoughts on which to use for streamers
@@hooked4lifeca Peter I notice in alot of your streamer tying videos most of your steamers are done on down eye hooks. Is that because where they originated from? ( Traditional) Great stuff Peter!

Very informative. Always wondered why down eye,up eye or straight hooks. Please make more detailed informative vids. Thanks Mark

I saw a book on someone's fly tying bench "Work is for people who can't fish" lol
Love it, thanks Peter!
Excellent! Thank You!

That's a subject for another video - can't stick too much in one otherwise no one will watch it.
@@hooked4lifeca agree just a thought & still an awesome information on this video
High Peter
Peter, How do you feel about straight eye hooks for streamers or wet flies?
Better than down eye hooks. :) I use a lot of straight eye hooks in my saltwater streamers.

@@fabios35076 Yup, just respecting tradition. My own streamer designs are different, but I try to stay faithful to the old patterns.
